In the Art Gallery
The Franklin Lakes Art Gallery is currently featuring Artist Samia Elghamrawi. Born in Cairo, Egypt, Samia has been interested in art for as long as she could pick up a paintbrush. After successfully raising three children and having an accomplished career in accounting, Samia has returned to her first love. Frequent family vacations to the shore inspired and fueled her passion for seascape and contemporary arts. This passion is reflected in pieces that simultaneously evoke a sense of peace and whimsy. In her spare time she loves to dote on her three grandchildren and continues to make regular visits to the shore.
